"Being at the service of the family for life through all its stages...from the very young, to the very old and to all those in-between." This philosophy is at the heart of the mission of the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles, a vibrant, thriving community of women dedicated to serving God's people. It is a God-given mission, a mission of the heart, a mission of loving servi

ce, which overflows from each sister’s profound life of prayer. We strive to reflect His life, His hope and His love to everyone we encounter. Venerable Mother Maria Luisa Josefa of the Most Blessed Sacrament, Foundress of our community, began her dream of uniting the spirit of Carmel with an active apostolate in her native Mexico in 1921, a dream that was to be realized in the United States when Mother Luisita and her two companions arrived in 1927 as religious refugees in order to escape horrific religious persecutions that were gaining momentum in Mexico. 85 years later, 143 sisters follow in her footsteps. Our life is characterized by a life of prayer and union with God, a deep love for Jesus in the Holy Eucharist and devotion to our Blessed Mother. We are steadfast in fidelity to the Magesterium of the Church. Today we move forward together “Educating for Life with the Mind and Heart of Christ” through infant care to high schools, being “At the Service of the Family for Life” through health and eldercare and “Fostering a Deeper Spiritual Life” through individual and group retreats.

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus: You know the longings of our hearts, and you desire that we enjoy friendship with you. From your pierced side, you have poured out the wellspring of life, for which we thirst. Your heart burns with a love for all people to return to a right relationship with you. We celebrate the abundant gifts you have given this nation, founded on the self-evident truths that our Creator has endowed all people with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We make reparation for the offenses against you and against human dignity that have taken place in this nation. May our hearts be united to yours, so that our families and communities enjoy peace and happiness; may broken relationships be reconciled, injustices repaired, and the wounds of our land be healed. May your holy Catholic Church serve as a sign, pointing all people to your infinite love. O Desire of Nations and Center of History, we ask you to bless these United States of America. Who live and reign with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
